Abstract
Cancer has challenged researchers with its immense complexity, from initiation to progression and on to therapeutic resistance. The seventh Origins of Cancer Symposium, held on July 22, 2016, at Van Andel Research Institute, was organized around the theme “Exploring Tumor Complexity”, and the latest advances under that theme from seven leading cancer research laboratories were discussed. Here we summarize highlights from the meeting and their implications.
